From the discussion

A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.

So is the internet a public good or not? Should companies be allowed to own and control it or shouldn't they, the analogy would be like if everyone needed a specific device to function in the modern world and only could go to one or two places to realistically get it.

Technofeudalism is a misnomer, as feudalism requires people to exploit their labor, which are linked to some territory or domain. When labor loses its value, it is no longer "feudalism", as there is no value to extract anymore.

The article not mentioning the likes of Curtis Yarvin or Peter Thiel misses the point...
